Mickey sounds silly to me putting restrictions on battling. This whole “last” battle thing sounds silly.

What happens 2 or 3 years from now when the purses are even bigger?

As far as Iron Solomon, I think he's dope, he's just not my cup of tea. Since his run back, the only battle I really enjoyed from him was the Rum Nitty battle. I'm not saying he was bad in the others, it's just that was the stand out for me.
Yeah I hate this whole "This is my last battle, so it has to be on RBE" nonsense. Why would you box yourself in like that? It makes no sense.

I don't get it... But he's like top 2 or 3 in views per battles, so theirs clearly a segment of viewers that find him likeable. He speaks to a certain 'in the trenches' demographic
I find Surf's battles entertaining for the most part. To me, he's one of the better overall battlers out there. He performs, he has bars, and he can angle and he has great delivery.

I'm here for entertainment first and foremost.

i know he's said he wanted to touch each major battle rap platform once and RBE might be the last one. some shyt about how if he goes back on it then ARP gets the money
now why he would do that shyt is beyond me..

part of it, I think was he was saying he didn’t want to seem like culture vulture like that. I dunno. I remember him saying touch the major platforms once thing too and I was like that seems odd but ok do you, bruh.

Surf rubs a lot of these posters the wrong way, pause. shyt is kinda comical.
lol yeah nikkas hate Surf. Battle rap is my favorite form of entertainment outside of sports, but I don't take this shyt serious like that. It's fun to debate and discuss battles, who won, who lost, etc... It's entertainment and when it's over, I go on about my life. nikkas be taking this shyt to heart.

This is something I've seen about TBZ and battle rap fans

Surf might remind some of you posters of bullies in real life. There are nerds in this thread that hate how people get their way with the gift of gab. Some of yall want battle rap to just be about bars, but show business and battle rap have been intertwined forever. It's a no-brainer that Surf is a superstar. This is coming from someone who is betting against Surf tonight

I see this with the way dudes be so mad that JC cant get plates. Of course he still cant get some elite tier plates, he needs to work on his brand. His raps can't do all the work for him, and he loses aura when he battles Chilly on Organyzed Cryme Battle League

No battler got to elite tier status off of just bars. Not Lux, Mook, Verb, Hitman, etc. There's also performance, delivery, presentation, and aura. Sorry
